Went to Mosu Seoul, which was the only 3 star in Korea during 2023-24 but lost their stars while relocating and recently reopening in early 2025.
Food was amazing and the service was top notch, though note that I communicated in Korean so not sure how the English service would be. Overall atmosphere is pretty tranquil with the 1st floor having an open kitchen and the 2nd floor more peaceful.
Had the dinner tasting menu (around 300$) and the 7 glass pairing (around 200$) which was good but not amazing.
I’ve been to most of the Michelin places in Seoul including Mingles which became a 3 star this year (although I went when it was a 2 star) and I definitely think Mosu had the best food and service out of all of them. Would be surprised if they don’t get 3 stars next year.
Only caveat would be getting a reservation. The head chef Anh Sung Jae has become a huge celebrity chef after appearing in a Netflix show so the place becomes fully booked within minutes. (Only way to get a reservation as far as I know is via Catchtable, every 15th of the month for reservations for 3 months later.) Definitely recommend though if you can get a reservation.

The head chef is from culinary class wars? I enjoyed that show. Cooking + k-drama elements made it really fun. Hopefully I can snag a res for my October Korea trip.
0 star and it’s still 300? That taco looks like diarrhea maybe that’s why they took the star away
Had lunch here before they closed and reopened and it was incredible including service and wine. I still think of the buckwheat noodle and tamarind dish. The space was also gorgeous. Not sure why they needed to move.
Now on the list. Thank you!
